Finished with Chemo!

I had my last chemo on Friday and am now riding through bone pain and anxious to come out the other side. Thanks to all of you for your love and support–it has helped me enormously. I’m now looking forward to getting the chemicals and hydrocodone out of my system and getting some strength back and feeling more normal before I go in for surgery on the 23rd. I’ve been doing some walking but I WANT TO RUN! More later. Best wishes to all. XOX

  2. They say you can’t control events, only how you respond to them, and I’d say you are responding with a lot of courage and strength. Wish you could have been here this weekend. The whole family is thinking of you. You’ll be running again before you know it.
